The Sailing Wind Wheel

The Sailing Wind Wheel is the only visual and interactive teaching tool for sailing.

It is constructed out of durable plastic with a boat on a clear disc that allows the boat to rotate 360°

The sails rotate independently to create an understanding as to how the sails need to be adjusted and move on various Points-of-Sail. It makes visualizing maneuvers like Tacking & Jibing, Heading up and Heading down very clear.

The wind fellows show the wind direction and red arrow shows through the boat, simulating the windvane at the top the mast. It is a constant reminder of where the wind is coming from in relationship to the boat.

The two red tabs from the windex are shown on the boat so students know how to keep out of the No Sail Zone. The No Sail Zone is clearly indicated on front and back.

Waves show the relationship of the boats angle for each point of sail.

The Points-of-Sail are show in degree of angle as well as relationship to a clock.

Port and Starboard Tacks are made clear with the red and green on the sides of the boat.

On the back the Points-of-Sail are broken down like slices of pie to give a simplified way to understand the relationship of the boat to the wind.

The words of the wind, sailing commands and basic proper sail trim are clearly explained on the back. Including additional visuals of the sail shape for each point of sail.

Each Point-of-Sail is bolded on the degree of angle, so there is a clear understanding of each the Points-of-Sail in reference to the wind. The front has been left simple so students can practice.

Anyone trying to learn sailing will gain a better understanding the relationship of the boat to the wind and waves.

The book that accompanies the Sailing Wind Wheel give additional visuals and explanations so that you can teach yourself.

We also include a few bonus in the book like, further explanation of the sail trim, rules of the road, practice with it and even quizzes to test your knowledge.

It is made of durable plastic which will remain intact aboard the boat even if it gets wet. And is 8 1/2 x 11 so it fits into a notebook very easily

Whether it’s teaching yourself or teaching a friend, no sailor should be without the Sailing Wind Wheel.
